Policy Primary English Language Teaching

-

 Hi, readers!

How’s life?

I hope all of you feel good and happy.

Today we will talk about Policy Primary English Language Teaching.  






In Indonesia the considerable investment on primary English instruction is confronted with acute shortage of qualified teaching professionals, necessitating the training of a large pool of primary school English teachers. The continuously increasing advocacy for a policy on educating. Primary School English Teachers (PSET) cannot be perfectly understood without an adequate framework of the various contexts  in which the policy is situated. 

 

The  graduate attributes of  English instruction at primary level  are formalized in the  form of Graduates  Competency Standards (Standar Kompetensi Lulusan-henceforth SKL)  prescribed  by the government in the Decree of Ministry of National Education No. 23/2006 about SKL. It places a great emphasis on what students are expected to know, to behave, and to do through a continuous process in order to become competent in particular skills (Departemen, 2006).

 




The outcomes are formalized as following:

 

  1.  Listening

To  understand  instructions,  information,  and simple  stories  through  conversations  within  the context of classroom, schools, and the neighborhood.

 

  1.  Speaking

To verbally express the meaning of simple interpersonal and transactional discourses in the form of instructions and information within the context of classroom, schools, and the neighborhood.

 

  1. Reading

To  be able  to read  aloud and  understand the  meaning  of the  instructions  and information  as presented in  short and  simple functional,  descriptive, and pictorial  texts within  the context  of classroom, schools, and the neighborhood.

 

  1. Writing

To be  able to  write words, phrases,  and short functional texts with correct  spelling and proper punctuation.

 


The  primary objectives of the policy initiative is a teacher education which enables teachers to fully develop their skills to accomplish their  professional transformation as a curriculum designer at the local level while exercising  the utilization  of both  local languages  and  Indonesian for  teaching  English. The extent  to which teachers perform their occupational roles is affected in one way or the other by the interplay of factors embedded in the context of primary school English education. This creates the inevitable urgency for preparing teachers to become aware of these factors.







I think that’s all for today. Thank you for visiting my blog. 

See you!

Stay safe and stay healthy!
